Get Physically Fit For Your Wedding

If you are serious about being trim and fit for your wedding, you need to keep in mind that it will not happen overnight. If anyone tells you that you will be model slim in just a couple of days run out of there as fast as you can and don’t look back. When it comes to fitness there is no magic pill or quick fix. The best solutions take time.

Now some brides are blessed to already have a good body that just needs toning or firming up. For the women, the most obvious area they want to improve is their tummy. Every bride wants to have that slim waist that looks so sexy. It will also look absolutely great when you get into your bikini on your honeymoon.

Thankfully, gone are they days when people would tell you that you need to do 300 sit ups, crunches and leg-lifts every day to get your belly flat. A sensible trainer will tell you the quality of your workout is more important. You can achieve good results doing ab work outs like in Pilates.

Another area is the triceps. Once you are out of your teens your triceps sag if you don’t exercise them. The last thing you want is to wave at your guests as you leave in your honeymoon car and have your triceps wagging byebye as well. Ladies, watch the “Princess Diaries” and learn to wave gracefully so as to minimize the wobbling above the elbow.

It will never hurt to exercise those arms. If you don’t want to use any weights, why not try doing some tricep dips? You can do this anywhere using a sturdy chair or your bed as a prop and your body weight for resistance. If you have dumbbells, you have more options. You can do tricep kickbacks, tricep extensions and the tricep press.

Now ladies, some of you aren’t comfortable with lifting weights. You don’t want to develop bulky muscles which is why you’re reluctant. The good news is developing bulky muscles is very hard for women. You really have to work out for a long time and life heavier weights to do that.

Seriously, you don’t have to lift weights if you don’t want to. A good pilates class will teach you how to develop a leaner, stronger body without the bulk. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Pilates, it is one of the favorite ways dancers keep fit and trim. It is fun to do and can be done anywhere. Why not check if there is a class in your gym and try it out?

It is always more fun to work out with a partner rather than alone. Why not ask your bridesmaids to work out with you? You can motivate each other to get into shape and have fun shaping up for your wedding. It will also be a great memory of friendship between you.

Don’t wait until the wedding is almost upon you before starting. The more time you give yourself, the easier it will be. Exercising may even become a habit and you’ll stay fit and trim long after the wedding is done.
